The last week has been jampacked with graduation fun! Last Wednesday we went out to eat with Kevin to celebrate his graduation from CSULB and starting his new job. Not only did his parents treat us to delicious Lonestar, but we saw some friends we hadn’t seen in a while. Once you get married and start spending 90% of your time with your spouse, you really start to value the small amount of time you spend with your friends.
Then on Friday night we went to CSULB to watch Andrew graduate. He’s got a picture on his website, but here is one I took.
On Sunday I woke up at 6 am to go to Stacie’s graduation at CSUF. She graduated with her MS in Education with a concentration in reading. Long Beach and Fullerton have very different graduation setups. Long Beach had 9 separate ceremonies for each school in the college, while Fullerton only had two big ceremonies, followed by a second ceremony for each school. Basically what this means is Fullerton’s was a lot longer and much more crowded. All my complaining aside, it was great to see the love of my life honored for her accomplishments. She is one of the hardest working and most dedicated people I know. After the ceremony we had a party at the in-law’s house with some friends and family.
Unforutunately about halfway through the Fullerton marathon ceremony I got sick. Sunday night I hardly slept at all, which resulted in me lying on the couch all day Monday. I never even changed out of my pajamas from Sunday night to Monday night, gross huh? Luckily Monday was Memorial Day and I didn’t have to go to work. This morning I was still only about 75%, but I went to a workshop instead of teaching, so that worked out. Spending all day Monday on the couch gave me time to finish off the final episodes of CSI:NY and One Tree Hill. I started to finish Smallville, but I still have a few episodes left from the end of the season.
So that was my long weekend full of graduation mayhem. Congrats to all the other recent graduates (Mike and Amy) I didn’t mention.
